πΈ Always great to raise a glass, or three, with Crystal Garrett
π₯¦ As we dive into summer entertaining, the farmersβ markets are overflowing with fresh fruit and vegetables, and you may be looking for some wines to pair with these local treasures.
π Weβre starting with something coastal and refreshingβJostβs Blue Latitude from Nova Scotia.
π Itβs a breezy white blend with green apple, lime zest, and a splash of ocean minerality.
π§ Try it with a salad of sweet corn, cherry tomatoes, basil, and goat cheese.
πΎ Folonari Prosecco, a sparkling wine from Italy, is perfect for patio sipping and entertaining.
π It has aromas of white peach, citrus blossom, and fresh, fruity bubbles.
π₯ Try it with fresh peach slices wrapped in prosciutto or a platter of sliced nectarines, cucumber ribbons, and burrata cheese.
π Tidal Bay is Nova Scotiaβs signature wine, and this one from 1365 Church Street Winery is a benchmark example.
πΈ Itβs vibrant and aromatic with notes of citrus peel, green herbs, and white flowers.
π₯ Serve it with zucchini fritters, a cucumber-dill salad, or herbed chΓ¨vre on rye crackers.
π We have this delightful Villa Sparina Gavi di Gavi made from Cortese grapes grown in the northern region of Piedmont so itβs clean and fresh.
β¨ It has lovely notes of lime and lemon zest.
πΏ This wine sings with a classic Caprese salad made with heirloom tomatoes, basil, and bocconcini.
π The Lamole di Lamole Maggiolo Blue Label Chianti Classico is a bold and structured red with layers of ripe plum, black cherry, violet, and a whisper of Tuscan herbs.
π₯§ Itβs gorgeous with grilled eggplant stacks layered with ricotta and roasted red peppers, or a rustic tomato galette.
